I guess Go Punks!. If you do to the Mob what you did to us I guess it would make me feel a little better.

I have to admit that Bonn's loss is really touching a nerve with our players if nothing else than the decisiveness of it. I'm sure everyone sees our D-coord's posts by Mac Attack, but it's also hit our less vocal core guys hard on the team forum. We are resolved to coming back strong though.

It's called being in this damn league for 5 seasons now....dominating the whole season only to give up the ghost in the second round AGAIN! Not sure how long your team has been in this league but I for one am sick of being here. No offense to any of our friends here. Again the punks won and my hat is off to them but damn. I can't for the life of me explain how that happened....Let's just say our team forum is boiling over right now...

We scored 14 points which came off of a pick 6 int return and a kickoff return for a TD. When we ran the ball we got tackled immediately by the first line of defense whereas Boston consistently made it to the LB layer if not further. If we were able to get passes off(sacked more than ever) then the passes were way offline or dropped much more consistently than normal whereas Boston's passes were caught in traffic, caught despite the ball appearing to be several yards away from anyone, or caught where it appeared to be deflected away from everyone. It seemed like we got bad side of a season's worth of bad breaks on plays in one game.

All I'm saying is don't look at the final score, which was 25-14, it should have been much much worse given how the play by plays went. We got 2 hail mary plays for points and held Boston to 1 TD and 6 FGs and I doubt we even got 6 first downs. Somehow we were able to tread water for 3 quarters while Boston was doing laps and we finally sunk from exhaustion.

And for guys that have 45-3 over the last 3 seasons and even in those losses we put up a fight, to lose this way made them question their GLB-ness if nothing else than for the time being, I hope.

Sorry inverness but the championship awaits us.

are you going to buy a ticket and watch us play in it?

WoC

know your sentiment. i have been with the Mob since the begining. and it has not been easy. always making the playoffs. never getting promoted. i was shocked by your loss this time. not that you could drop one but by how one sided the game was. Game planning can not account for that. but they say that some times with football you ahve the curse of the football gods agains you.

Have to admit the punks win was one of the biggest things i have experienced in GLB so far.

Last season we where the punching bag of the league and rightly got demoted. This time we are back and instead of winning only the token game against gutted teams we are in the playoffs

Bonn is a great team and i have to admit that i myself didnt really see us winning against you. We had luck on our side as well as a bunch of people so addicted to GLB it makes your average drug habit seem easy to kick in comparison.

Oh, and obviously i have to take this opportunity to glorify my own player Udo Dirkschneider

Boston has done a great job, but if it comes down to the knights and punks again the outcome will be the same.

Highlanders are the only challenge left in my opinion.

Udo is that midget guy, right? He's like 4'6" or something like that?

I can relate to that as well since Season 3 Birmingham was the Zeta Championship away from moving up only to lose to undefeated London Hitmen. Season 4 was a major disappointment after being a #3 seed and losing in the first round. Season 5 only loss in regular season was an OT loss and #1 seed in the playoffs in which the game was dominated only to lose the turnover battle to Stockholm in the first round again.

I am thoroughly convinced that Bort nerfs a lot during the playoffs on purpose so that teams have an opportunity to upset which I am cool with to an extent but frustrated as well.

Two seasons in a row where we took an early exit in the first round of the playoffs.
